GARDENING SEASON IS ALMOST HERE
ARE YOU PREPARED?
ARE YOUR TOOLS READY? During the final few weeks of winter and the first week of spring, spend some time in your shed or garage cleaning your tools. Use your hose to remove any excess dirt from the previous gardening season and a wire brush to remove rust. Soak your smaller tools in soapy water and rinse and dry them afterward, then coat your wood handles with linseed oil to keep them in good shape. Once your tools are pristine, it’s time to move into your gardening space. CLEAN UP YOUR GARDENING SPACE Create a dedicated space for your crops if you don't already have one. Once you’ve selected a space, you need to clean it up. Start by removing any leaves, branches, and other debris that have fallen into the area. Also, remove any dead plants around the area. Once the area is clear, lay down mulch if your plants need it. This will help regulate moisture and keep your soil at a consistent temperature while fending off pesky weeds.
GET YOUR SEEDS AND SOIL PREPARED Now that your tools and space are ready to garden, you can get your seeds and soil ready. Pick out the best soil for the plant you’re growing and your location. Before laying your soil, check the area for weeds, and pull them as soon as you see them. Continue this practice until the weeds have stopped sprouting. Now, you’re ready to start planting. Buy your preferred seeds and plant them according to the packet instructions. You can add Miracle- Gro plant food to give your plants the best chance of surviving. When you start your gardening preparations early, you set yourself up for the best chance of successfully growing flowers, vegetables, fruits, and other plants. With time and care, gardening can become a talent that expands your Foundational Dimension and brings your family together outdoors. Good luck with your spring planting!
The spring season officially kicks off on March 20. If you’re planning to have a garden this year and haven’t started preparing yet, now is the time to start. If you’re unsure how to prepare properly, don’t stress or worry; we’ve got you covered! Below, you’ll find a few tricks to set your garden up for success.
